Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits
The 51st Union World Conference on Lung
Health, Paris (live streaming), France, 21/10/2020- 24/10/2020 has been accredited by the European
Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 19 European CME
credits (ECMEC®s). Each medical specialist should claim only those hours of credit that he/she
actually spent in the educational activity.
Through an agreement between the Union
Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert
EACCME® credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM. Information on the
process to convert EACCME® credit to AMA credit can be found at www.ama-assn.org/education/earn-credit-participation-international-activities.
Live educational activities, occurring outside
of Canada, recognised by the UEMS-EACCME® for ECMEC®s are deemed to be Accredited Group
Learning Activities (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification Program of the
Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
